I Did, Too! - April 02, 2024
Lesson Collection #5 - Lesson 14e
Students practice rejoinders using past tense did and didn't.
One student reads a statement from the worksheet, for example: Around 11:00 last night, I saw a ghost.
Groupmates reply with any of these four main rejoinders:
I did, too!
So did I,
Me, too! -or-
I didn't!
Another student reads a different statement from the worksheet, for example:
Most of last month, I didn't brush my teeth.
Groupmates reply with any of these four main rejoinders:
I didn't, either.
Neither did I.
Me neither. -or-
I did!
As in the above two examples, many of the sentences are quite silly (thus fun) and students need to respond honestly and quickly. To make this activity more enjoyable (and difficult) - students may not use the same rejoinder once it's been said for any given statement. If all students simply say: Me, too! Me, Too!, Me, Too, it's pretty boring.

I Do, Too! (Lesson Collection Set #5 - Lesson #26c)
I Will, Too! (Lesson Collection Set #5 - Lesson #26d) -and-
I Have, Too! (Lesson Collection Set #5 - Lesson #26f).
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Dear Kurt,
Your EFL4U activities are honestly among the very best that I’ve discovered on the web. They are consistently imaginative, high quality and engaging. The students are motivated and the classes are lively.

Hi Kurt,
Your collection of lesson worksheets is really great. It makes my teaching much easier and funnier. I work in an International House School in Ukraine. We all enjoy your lessons, especially our students. Your illustrations are just great.
Helen Svetlichnaya - EFL Teacher
Dear Kurt,
A HUGE THANKS !!
Because of what you do at EFL4U, my school is one of the best in the city. I think it’s really important for students to have fun, to act, to react and learn English by using it! With your active lessons, my students do all of that, and more….
Grammar is taught after or before the lessons… and all of my students learn while having lots of fun.
Kurt, EFL4U IS THE BEST THING THAT I HAVE RECEIVED. EVERY YEAR, YOU ARE MY SANTA CLAUS.
Betty Tokeshi - EFL Teacher
Dear Kurt,
There are millions of EFL ESL books here in the library, but I use your worksheets more than any of the others combined.
I love them. My students love them.
Sincerely,
Margaret Holt - ESL Teacher,
